This will make the Wagon Wheel area even better since the new trails will be near the Indian Ridge trails so you can ride 3 H/M trail systems and the Wagon Wheel all from one camp site and never have to trailer your machine

That is really nice not having to trailer. I wish it was not so far away from me.

but dont you have to pay to ride these new trails and are they subject to those new rules for ruv's?

$50.00 a year for a permit for us that are not residents of West Va and now you can ride Side by Sides on all green and blue trails.That just leaves a very small percentage of black trails you can't ride.It will be a lot of riding with one stop so to speak to make it worth coming for a week stay for people far off.

but still subject to those nutty rules where they say a 100 fine and possible confiscation of your ruv if your caught not conforming to them?

It would be rare to see a H/M Ranger on the trails anyways I have never even seen anyone patrolling the trails as they have 100's of miles of trails and just a few Rangers.I don't have a problem with their rules it's just more trails to ride in one general location for me.

You are right Gunny

The idea of being told ya have to wear goggles behind a full windshield is beyond stupid to me. Maybe I'm guilty of passing on that which I've only been told, but none the less I have been told that. Do you guys that ride H / M know if that one is true or not?

Woodtick I would say you can wear these and be fine.I don't see wear thay could do crap about it as they are called goggles too http://www.opticsplanet.net/bobster-gx-black-frame-sunglasses-goggles.html

Those rules also say must have OEM seat belts and they be used, so if you have a 3 or 4 pt system its not legal. With all those strict rules i bet if you got caught or stopped and even smelled like you had drank alcohol they would nail your ass
